Interesting offseason cuts around the league thread

[cstjohn17]

Titus Young is over rated and an all around Douche bag but all it costs to bring him in is a waiver claim. It is not like the Patriots avoid troubled players.

This is a position of need, for $600K you upgrade the outside WR position and if it doesn't work out, cut his ass. Hell even if an upgrade becomes available before the season starts, cut his ass. Very low risk move, kinda like a discount insurance policy.

I don't know why anybody would want to pay him $185k just to show up to camp

Jeff Fisher and Titus Young. Two guys I absolutely despise.

I hear that.

If anyone can get him to settle down though, it may be J.Fisher.

Many here wondered if Janoris Jenkins was off of the NEP board altogether, and Fisher and the Rams turned him into something to keep an eye on as he had a decent year.

Now you have J.Jenkins, C.Finnegan and T.Young all on the same team. I'm curious to see how that works out, but it seems as though many players end up respecting Fisher.

People are calling for a coverage LB.... Here's one coming on the market:

The Giants are saying goodbye to linebacker Michael Boley.

The Giants announced the move on Tuesday afternoon, and coach Tom Coughlin and General Manager Jerry Reese both praised Boley on his way out the door.

$4.25MM for a coverage linebacker might be a bit steep.

That said, good player. Not sure why the Giants did this.

Vanden Bosch has really tailed off the past season or two, and has a cap hit of over 10 million for 2013.

The other 2 may be possibilities.

May be some injury concerns that were kept internal.

Dues you are exactly right. We could use this guy but do you think he will want to be a starter. What type of money do you think he would be looking for?
